Baycrest holds formal academic partnerships with 32 universities and colleges locally, nationally and internationally. The following outlines the IPE curriculums in the universities and colleges from which we receive a high volume of students each academic year.

Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative (HPAC) and the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education. This consensus guidance document is meant to support the development and implementtation of quality IPE.

With IPE, students learn to collaborate and communicate effectively, and, by doing so, they develop leadership qualities and mutual respect for one another’s knowledge and skill sets (Interprofessional Education Collaborative [IPEC] Expert Panel, 2011).

Some faculty find a helpful way to start with interprofessional education is to “convert” an existing course into an interprofessional course or experience.
Our IPE Toolkit is a place to find information about IPE courses at U-M and get assistance with the process of converting an existing course to an IPE course.

This toolkit is designed for educators interested in learning to facilitate student IPE and/or train other educators to facilitate IPE. No prerequisites are necessary, however, familiarity with IPE competencies is advised. Educators learning to train other educators should have previous experience facilitating student IPE.

This toolkit builds from earlier work to help clinics in the Physician Integrated Networks to identify which providers to integrate. This version builds on this work and introduces additional resources which provide more details about each step of the process. Resources were chosen based on the questions and barriers identified by Manitoba physicians, other providers and My Health Teams.
